Caroline – A New Musical
2026-06-03 19:30 - 2026-06-13 19:30 | Mercury Theatre Colchester, Mercury Theatre Colchester
Presented by the East Anglian Touring Consortium.
“A radio station for young people! Why do we need that? We both enjoy Housewives choice, don’t we Caroline?”
1964, Clacton-on-Sea.
Caroline and her best friend Mary spend their days stacking shelves and return home to their mothers listening to Housewives Choice on the BBC. Every night they escape to the pier to eat chips, laugh and talk about music with Caroline’s charismatic boyfriend Robbie.
But a music revolution is coming, and Robbie lands a shock gig with Radio Caroline – the pirate radio station blasting pop, soul and rock ’n’ roll into every home in Britain. Overnight, Caroline is hurled into a whirlwind of music, mischief, and a cultural rebellion that will rewrite history.
She’s not a DJ. She’s not a rock star. But in the middle of Britain’s radio revolution, Caroline might just steal the show.
Powered by the sound of the 60s, Caroline is a bold, funny, and heart-filled new musical about love, ambition, and finding the courage to turn up the volume on your own voice.

PRESERVING TOM LEHRER’S LEGACY WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT
When, years ago, a teenage Mitch discovered American comic songwriting legend Tom Lehrer, the course of his life was changed forever.
Mitch looks at the legacy of the elusive Lehrer, the creative debt he, and all those who mix humour and melody, owe to him and performs some of the more Lehreresque of his own songs.
Since Mr. Lehrer (at time of writing, still slogging obstinately along at the age of 97) recently placed his entire catalogue in the public domain, expect a few Mitch Benn-ified covers of some of Tom’s most famous creations as well.
